Ches Guevara''s Final Adventure: The Guerrilla in Bolivia, 1967 is a detailed military history of the final campaign of Ernesto Che Guevara, as he commanded the Bolivian National Liberation Army in a doomed campaign against the US-backed military regime headed by Air Force General René Barrientos.Between 1966 and 1967 Argentine-born Ernesto Guevara - known around the world as Che - would lead the Cuban-backed Bolivian National Liberation Army in Ñancahuazú region of Bolivia, in what was known as the the Ñancahuazú Guerrilla. Bolivia at that time was governed by a military regime headed by Air Force General René Barrientos, who in November 1964 had overthrown the historic leader and constitutional president Víctor Paz Estenssoro and put an end to the nationalist-popular revolution that began in April 1952.At the beginning of the operations, Che''s guerrillas obtained some positive results before the Bolivian army and troops of the security forces began a relentless pursuit, supported by aircraft of the Bolivian air force, which bombed and machinegunned the guerrilla camps. With US military help in the training of the Bolivian Army Rangers, it was possible to decimate the guerrillas and capture, and ultimately execute, Guevara in October 1967.Ches Guevara''s Final Adventure: The Guerrilla in Bolivia, 1967 provides a detailed day-by-day account of the last campaign of a figure who even today remains an instantly recognisable icon of the left-wing revolutionary movements of the Cold War era, and is illustrated throughout with original photographs and includes specially commissioned color artworks.
